Bandletic Tough Strap for Garmin Fenix 6/5/7, Forerunner 965/955/945/745/Approach S62/S60/Epix 2, 22mm Quick Fit Nylon Band for Fenix 5 Plus/Fenix 6 Pro/7 Pro/Instinct 2 Solar, Large-Black
My original review was incorrect as I had ordered the incorrect strap. In light of that I have given a 5 star review as the strap itself is fine and the customer service was great and they worked hard to resolve my issue.
Extremely comfortable and also lightweight…I swapped this out for the heavier silicone strap that came with my 7… no skin irritation issues, more easily adjustable… What’s not to like?!
Got the large but maybe could have got away with medium, not sure… just means wearing the watch slightly up the wrist from where I’m used to… makes no difference actually because this strap is so comfortable!
I needed a strap which would fit my watch and this had the right width 20 to 23mm.
Strangely it didn’t have the two bars needed to attach to a normal watch. They cost almost nothing and would give it universal appeal. Why limit their strap to only a few watches?
Luckily I have a watch bar kit with all the sizes already so was able to get it all connected.
So yes, this can be fitted to normal watches, but you need 2 bars.
I have been looking for a fabric strap for my Fenix 6 Pro for a while, and nothing was quite up tot he job. I took a chance on this and overall I am very happy. The strap came packaged in a little presentation box, it is heavy and well stitched together so I have no concerns about it falling apart mid-activity. It was also very easy to pit – It simply snapped on and off I went. I found that during an activity the watch stayed in place better than it had been doing so with the conventional rubber straps, but after a short while it started to itch. I was sweating, but when working out, I generally do. The strap would not be long enough to wear over clothing so it has to get next to the skin, and I will have to wait to see if it softens up at all with wear. Overall I am happy, and it is a welcome addition to my strap collection. 5 Stars for quality and east of fitment, 4 for comfort.
This is a brilliant premium watchstrap for use on any Garmin Fenix’s.
The band itself is a 22mm Quick Fit Nylon Band which has a Velcro fastening strip to hold it in place.
The clever part of this strap is the buckle to attach it to the watch strap bar. The buckle is made of metal and has a retractable clasp within it which clips back and then locks in place onto the watch strap bar and is very secure.
This strap is very comfortable to wear and looks and feels premium and I really recommend it!
This is a great strap, good quality, nice design with the orange label on the black strap.
The sizing chart is accurate, if your wrist is below 180mm circumference, then don’t get the Large as it will not fit, unfortunately my wrist was 175mm and the Large was too loose, very disappointed, but this was my own fault.
The Little clips are all metal construction and work very well, just push the clips on to the watch and it locks in to place securely.
The only reason I give 4 stars is because my strap had creases on the velcro side, it just felt like it was missing a little quality control, possibly a one off. I also found the Nylon construction quite firm, perhaps it will loosen up with use.
First off this attaches using similar quick release clips as with the Garmin originals, and the whole clip is metal making it feel really solid.
The strap itself is then a very robust tough feeling material with the velcro adjustment.
I got the large size based on the wrist measurement guide and it fits just nicely without any loose strap and it’s just loose enough when undone to get my hand through without fully opening.
After wearing a short while it felt fine and much nicer than the original silicone strap that came with the watch.
Overall I’m really pleased with this. In summary a good solid strap, easy to put on and comfortable in use.
